How to prevent auto upload?

Report · Sep 17, 2023

Hi, im using Lightroom Classic (macOS) and Lightroom for iPhone / iPad.

Everytime i import a photo from my camera roll into Lightroom on iPhone / iPad it will automatically uploaded to the cloud. Im not adding the pictures to a folder or collection, so thats not the cause.

How do i turn this off? I must be possible since a friend of mine doesnt face this issue.

I only wans some handpicked pictures and edits in the ckoud.

Lightroom Classic 12.5

Lightroom Mobile (iPhone) 8.5.1

Lightroom for iPad 8.5.1

"iPhone / iPad it will automatically uploaded to the cloud." That is how the Lightroom mobile apps are intended to work.

If you don't want all Cloud images to download to Lightroom-Classic then you should never turn on the 'Sync' in LrC.

Re: Camera Roll photos- There is an option in Lr App Settings > Import to turn off [Auto Add from Device Photos].

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 14.5.1, Photoshop 26.10, ACR 17.5, Lightroom 8.5, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 15.1.1 .
